Evangeline Lilly made her debut as Hope Van Dyne in Marvel’s first Ant-Man movie and will become a full fledged super hero in Ant-Man and The Wasp. The Wasp was originally set to have a role in Captain America: Civil War, but was later removed. Fans seem to be completely ok with that because Lilly will return as The Wasp in Avengers 4, but the actress states that she won’t have much screen time.
While hosting a live Q/A on Instagram, Evangeline Lilly revealed a bit of behind-the-scenes Avengers secrets, including her appearance in the untitled Avengers 4.
“I will appear in Avengers 4, not very much, so don’t get your hopes up. Not going to be a ton. But I’m in there! And I’m proud to be in there, and I’m stoked to be in there.”
Evangeline Lilly went on to describe her on set experience and as you would expect, she had a great time.
“I had so much fun on the Avengers 4 film set because they made it like a party, it was right around Christmas time and it was just like they had this tent set up with Christmas carols, with Christmas lights, and music, so every time we would be on set or walk off the set we’d walk into this really festive environment and I was surrounded by all these rock stars who are super cool people in real life and we all got to know each other. Robert Downey Jr. would have us to his tent for lunch and we’d all sit down and have lunch together. It ended up being what I think a lot of fans think a lot of fans imagine its like on a film set with a bunch of film stars, which usually it isn’t. Usually film stars all go to their own trailers and disappear and don’t talk to one another and they get on the phone with their wife or their husband or their agent or their the CEO of a company that they’re running and they’ve got something to do during their lunch hour, and sometimes it can be a really lonely place ot be, on a film set. But Avengers was the polar opposite of that. It was this community, and it was fun, and people were really warm and kind.”

As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.
